Why is GetGlobalResourceObject protected?

Question

User-778661250 posted
As the subject says, is there a reason why GetGlobalResourceObject is protected?  At the very least, couldn't it atleast be protected on Control instead of TemplateControl?  As itstands, isn't it useless for custom server controls and user controls?

I must be missing something...

hello.

btw, you should also note that you the global resource files are parsed  into classes. for instance, if you had a resource file call Resources inside the app_globalresource files that has a string entry called Test then you can get that value by using code like this:

Resources.Resources.Test
